 (1 Customer Review)
Released in late 2008, DOWN TO EARTH, Jem's sophomore album, finds the Welsh performer (born Jem Griffiths) playing up the poppy side of her alternative-electro aesthetic. Highlights of the eclectic outing include the funky, beat-driven "Crazy" and the breezy, lilting "It's Amazing," as well as the club-ready techno tune "Aciiid!" which features Jem singing in Japanese.

Paste (magazine) (p.61) - "[W]hen Jem's good -- as with the throwback dance track 'Aciiid!' and the beautiful piano and strings of 'You Will Make It' -- she's very good."

| | Muddy Waters Folk Singer CD (1964) Remastered
Down To Earth CD music
$8.49   
Ultradiscs are mastered from the original master tapes using Mobile Fidelity's proprietary mastering technique, then plated with 24-karat gold and housed in a stress-resistant lift-lock jewel box.
"You Can't Lose What You Ain't Never Had" and "The Same Thing" did not appear on the original version of FOLK SINGER. They were recorded at a separate session in April 1964, three months after FOLK SINGER was released.
The title and cover photo of this 1963 recording were an attempt to cash in on the burgeoning American folk revival, but this is pure acoustic blues. Muddy began his career as a Robert Johnson-style solo acoustic performer, and the tunes on FOLK SINGER hark back to those days. He's accompanied sparsely by Willie Dixon, drummer Clifton James and a young Buddy Guy, who provide a stark, deliberate backdrop for Muddy's rich vocal and expressive bottleneck guitar work. The richness of Muddy's baritone is showcased effectively here, with more room than usual for his voice to resonate.
The low-key setting allows Muddy to explore a fuller dynamic range as well. From the romantic yearning of "Long Distance Call" to the fatalism of the chain gang song "My Captain," Muddy's voice expresses entire worlds of emotion with only subtle ...
| | Philipp Fankhauser Talk To Me CD (2004)
Down To Earth music CDs
$12.65
Talk To Me is the title of the latest album from Philipp Fankhauser, the highly regarded blues artist based in Thun, Switzerland, and his first for Memphis International Records. Fankhauser is well known to European audiences but he is also familiar to North Americans as a result of his role as guest vocalist with the band of the late blues great Johnny "Clyde" Copeland. While the bulk of Talk To Me is comprised of l Fankhauser originals it does include two Johnny Copeland compositions and Shemekia Copeland, Johnny's daughter and a renowned star in her own right, penned the liner notes. "Philipp will always be very special to the Copeland family; his music is special for just about everyone," she wrote.The album includes a version of "Members Only," a song that was an R&B hit for Bobby Bland in the 1980s and produced for Fankhauser by Dennis Walker (Robert Cray, B.B. King, Maria Muldaur) with an appearance by the Memphis Horns. Bobby Bland finally met Fankhauser in the '90s and expressed great admiration for the Swissman's interpretation of one of his signature songs.Downbeat's review of Talk To Me noted "Fankhauser doesn't sound the least bit like a visitor from Switzerland that unrealistically fancies himself a blues singer. He displays empathy for Johnny Copeland songs, and he dramatizes soul-blues originals without ...

| | Marc Cohn Join The Parade CD (2007) Digipak
Down To Earth CD music
$11.35
Marc Cohn's first new studio album in nearly a decade, 2007's JOIN THE PARADE is a significant outing for the revered Ohio-born singer-songwriter, marking not only his debut on the Decca label, but his comeback from a 2005 head injury, the result of an attempted carjacking. Produced by fellow non-prolific musician Charlie Sexton, PARADE finds Cohn on familiar terrain, with his raspy voice and pensive lyrics guiding the sparse arrangements, as on the mellow, organ-tinged "Listening to Levon." While nothing on the record is quite as catchy as his soulful 1990s hit, "Walkin' in Memphis," PARADE features Cohn in an edgier mode on some tracks, most notably "Dance Back from the Grave," a moody ...
